Our Dating Direct Review

DatingDirect is a online dating site based in the UK but does have Worldwide membership. You can choose from an extensive list of Countries to search but the majority of profiles are in the UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland and USA. it is the largest UK dating site and the profiles cover all regions, professions and walks of life.

Signing Up to DatingDirect

Before you register at DatingDirect you can run a simple search of the profiles. You can search for profiles within a selected radius of your Post Code to give an idea of the singles in your area. You can view 6 pages of thumbnails on DatingDirect and look at the members details before being asked to sign up for free and create a profile to view more profiles.

The sign up on DatingDirect is very simple with general questions about yourself like hair, eye colour and other characteristics. You write a brief description about yourself and confirm what type of relationship your looking for. One annoying point on DatingDirect is you cannot leave questions unanswered or the form refuses to submit. There are certain questions I would have liked to leave blank or have a ‘prefer not to say option’ like level of income and it was a bit strange that females have to state there length of facial hair from options like clean shaven, stubble and goatie.

Once you have become a free member on DatingDirect you can browse all profiles, add details and photos to your own profile but you cannot communicate with other members in any way. If you are curious though and don’t want to take a big plunge you can purchase a 3 day trial for £4.95.

First impressions when you become a full member of datingDirect is how simple everything is to use. The DatingDirect site has been designed to offer quite a few features but remain very easy to use and fast loading. There are no gimmicks or any heavy graphics to clutter the site. Searching and contacting other members on DatingDirect is a breeze. The ‘see who likes me’ feature is a nice one. Here you can view if another member has added you to their favorites list. So if you feel they are being a bit shy you can make the first move and initiate contact.

DatingDirect Conclusion
If your looking for a site with a huge UK database and simplicity Dating Direct is for you. If you prefer lots of features ands frills it probably isn’t. This site is designed to do its job and a little bit more without fuss. There is no real free basic membership because once you have submitted your profile you cannot really do anything but a basic search until you have selected a premier membership. this is pretty stansars though for quality dating sites and the short trial memberships are a great way to try out the site.
